Think Reform fucked it with their donations. They're so outrageous, so obviously obscene, that they've managed to accidentally create a consensus for tougher action on political funding.

Daniel Thomas / Danny Tommo has today marched his private army of blackshorts to Daily Mail HQ to demand a new house for his mum within 48 hrs, after they doorstepped her for a feature on him. Apparently he plans to blockade them + cry at them until they do Bet those lads are glad of the balaclavas

That's because he wants neither of those things. He's 100% on-board with genocide and wants people to think that all we British Jews are with him, and feel terrified and attacked when it's called out. The cunt.

Why is it so important to distinguish between poor decision-making and total catastrophe or corruption? Because at this moment democratic politics is being poisoned by the failure to distinguish between them. Far too many people are falling into the trap.

Farcical psychodrama returns! The new Private Eye is out now.
A photo of the front cover of issue 1675 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The cover parodies the TV drama Rivals, with the headline “FARCICAL PSYCHODRAMA RETURNS!” The central image shows portrayals of senior Labour politicians posed in a countryside setting around a bed. A speech bubble reads, “We are all trying to screw each other!” At the bottom, a heading reads “YES! THEY ARE BONKERS!”

I know it's been said a million times but honestly, honestly, the US-Israeli war on Iran is genuinely one of the most fucked up things I have seen in international affairs in my life. It is genuinely shocking to me, in a way I think it would be bad to lose sight of, just how bad this has been.

They want to get a grip & realise that the current scenario is false. The script has been written by the right-wing media. The Govt is progressing & fulfilling its manifesto promises. The PM is doing his best to see that this continues & has done very little wrong to warrant such hostile hysteria

Say what you like about the British press, but I find it reassuring that they spend months ripping apart a Labour PM for properly declaring some glasses and football tickets, then all but ignore someone who wants to be PM when he tries to cover up a £5 million gift.

JD Vance accuses EU of ‘interference’ as he visits Hungary to help Orbán win election
US vice-president rails against ‘bureaucrats in Brussels’ interfering in Sunday’s vote as he arrives in Budapest JD Vance has railed against the EU, accusing it of blatantly interfering in Hungary’s upcoming elections, even as the US vice-president said he had travelled to Budapest to “help” Viktor Orbán win Sunday’s vote. Speaking to reporters shortly after landing in Budapest on Tuesday, Vance’s tone was combative as he alleged that the EU was responsible for “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference” he had ever seen.

Moving air-defense missiles from South Korea to the Middle East exposes the strain of a widening conflict. When one theater is stripped to sustain another, it signals depleted stockpiles and risky priorities. Wars promised as swift solutions often end up stretching security and stability everywhere.

A media that sought to create a sense of crisis that didn’t exist no longer serves the best interests of the voters or our democracy. And a media class that thinks it’s above criticism will lose the support of the public very quickly.
